The area around the aqueduct is stunning. You can truly see how water was brought to the city. The viewing area provides a stunning view of the hills surrounding the city. Close by art buildings that contain lots of details and style reminiscent of Paris on a smaller scale.

I was surprised by the city itself. Very nice, even streets, you can walk with bags without problem. The aqueduct is shocking. There's a mural in a bookstore town. (It reminds me of Lyon with its murals.) Obviously, this city is much smaller!! But it's worth visiting. Its monuments, the typical streets, the medical university, the color of the trams, the arch of Triumph. I was surprised by the very modern train terminal. City to visit 2 days.

The Aqueduct was one of our first sights visited in Montpellier. It is always interesting to know the history and it is fascinating to have known this place. Although it could be a little better preserved, it is a meeting point for many locals who use the place to walk around.
